Often the simplest things are best. Our clay cookware from Spain exemplifies this philosophy. Earth, water and fire, that’s it. The elegance of our cazuelas (clay cooking dishes) lies in their enduring usefulness.

They are formed by a potter and the handles are attached by hand. The high quality clay (as dense as brick) is finished with a clear lead free glaze and fired in a kiln over 2000° F. They can be used on the stovetop, oven, microwave, open fire, and grill.

These timeless vessels are EU and US FDA certified food safe, and are almost ready to use. A simple overnight soak in your sink is all that is needed. Resoak your cazuela from time to time, and it will provide you years of stylish service.

People have crafted clay cooking vessels for thousands of years. The quality of the clay found in Breda, in the Pyrenees foothills, has been prized since Roman times. Breda’s celebrated cookware is crafted in the same tradition as it has been for the last 500 years.

The cazuelas are a natural fit to various Mediterranean cuisines, Some of our favorite things to make using the cazuelas are: potato gratins, sautéed greens with piñones and bacon, goat cheese/green chile macaroni and cheese, enchiladas, carne adovada (pork in red chile) and baked trout with fennel…Happy cooking!
